While Rudy's BBQ is a mainstay in Texas chain barbecue, understand that every Rudy's Country Store is not the same.  There are different owners of many of their restaurants and that give the opportunity for a variation in quality and taste.  Some might think this is an opportunity but only your taste buds will determine if this is good or bad.

Now I've eaten at a lot of Rudy's locations so I think I have a pretty good idea of what to expect and I was a bit surprised at the Rudy's in Arlington. I selected some of my usual favorite options of sausage, brisket (lean), and ribs.  The sausage was very good. This is what I come to expect.  The brisket was fine but not over the top.  Now this was at dinner so I expect that it won't be quite as fresh as it was at lunch and that was essentially what I found.  However the ribs were the biggest surprise.  They had an artificial "chemically" taste that I have never experienced at Rudy's and must say that it was a disappointment.  

So as you dine out, just remember that every location is not the same and there are some Rudy's that are better than others.
